Happy Monday with lots of sunshine kaa after some rainy days na ka.
I'd like to share what I learned from attending the 75th Anniversary Celebration of Fulbright last week at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs ka.
It was awesome to listen to various perspectives from a keynote and panelists who are our Fulbright alumni from different sectors, discussing the theme of 'Reimagining Ourselves in the Age of AI'. Some key takeaways for me were:
- Good intention and money can't transform our cities to be 'smart'. It has to combine with purpose of creating a good life, people-centered to know their real needs , practicality for users to fit appropriate behaviors in their living, and proof from research and studies that the approaches work.
- On AI, several from different sectors see growth mindset needed for people to know how useful and how-to, and strive to learn for 'future ready' progress. They value critical thinking as one crucial skill to justify the responses generated, not blindly follow everything till we lose our human skills.
As many more will live longer, healthcare needs to offer prevention before getting diseases. Many applications will be helpful, yet, it needs to cater to correct understanding and convenience of use.
Everyone, especially the younger gen, must not take deep learning for granted. The age of AI opens rooms as well as gaps for our children to grow intellectually Many things come at the click of their fingers, making them lose the process of learning the elders have had. All must spend enough time to learn in some depth to understand the contexts, factors involved and ability to manage some of things manually. All also have to be aware that there's no shortcut to acquire relevant needed skills so 'take time to learn and excel'.
One big aspect is for our younger gens to have self-awareness, know their own selves like strong and weak points as fast as possible to keep up fine with the world challenges.
On the whole, the skills needed for all in the age of Ai are: critical thinking, communication, empathy. Yet, the most important is 'to learn how to be humans' with proper behaviors (interactions, ethics, artistic side) to design/shape themselves, communities, and the world with some sharp sense of possibilities to grow and move forward.
What we can offer continues to be human exchanges while offering 'future literacy', and cybersecurity with trust building along the way.
The first section of the celebration ignited further thought while the reception warmed my heart with joy of reconnecting with quite a few alumni from all parts of the country, and with newer ones joining in the Fulbright Family.
Life is a blessing -- one true gift for me ka.
